Lock Palette size
Is it possible to lock the palette size?
When I boot the size always changes and I often have to adjust the width to show the contents.
Thanks.

I'm under the impression that the palettes width (at least docked in my case) is saved/restored across different launches. (3.6.2 Win10)

And it is for me

I use OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548021803, revision: 3224f34.
I receive the message that my version is up to date.
It often changes for me although today it is consistent.
Attached is an image of how I want my palette, 2 images wide.
Again today when I open MS, the width was shrunk so I could not see any of the entries, just large enough to see that there were palettes there.
This keeps happening.

OK, we see how you want it to appear, and 2 images wide appears at the bottom.

Can you provide this image?

I neglected to save it (Forehead slap here).
I shall the next time.
I'll try rebooting the Win 10 computer.
If MuseScore crashes, it won't remember settings changed during the session. So I will often quick and restart MsueScore after tweaking things like this. Also, keep in mind that these settings are often per-workspace, so if you change workspaces, you may well have different window configurations.
There are some other things that can mess with the widths of these side panels, like if you open another window that is docked to the same side of the screen, like how the Mixer or Play Panel is often docked to the right and thus widens the Inspector if you don't undock it.

Is it possible your display resolution changes, like maybe you are adding and removing a second display or otherwise altering display resolution? In general, sizes don't change themselves, something must be trigger it. Just a matter of figuring out what.

My resolution does not change. I am resolute. :)
I will try to see if I can identify a possible trigger.
It has not acted up lately. Thanks.
Happened again.
I was working yesterday and left the Palette "How Set".
I booted the program today - "came up".
Fortunately I had left the Palette open - Usually I close it and when the reboot happens it is much narrower than it shows here.

Strange! I’ve never seen or heard of this happening. I wonder, do you normally keep the palette that narrow? I wonder if there is some calculation that gets thrown off in cases where the palette window is very narrow? Like maybe cases where it’s narrow than the labels on the palettes.

Today it booted up where I like it:

I keep it that narrow - Just large enough to show the contents. I try to maximize the size of the scores.

Aha!! I just found out about f9.
I've been keeping it open all te time. Perhaps showing/hiding it will work for me and I can make it wider.

That’s what I do. I make it wide enough to make the key signatures and/or Lines palettes three columns wide, which allows me to have them open without completely taking up the entire height of the screen. But I close it often to see more score. Similarly for the Inspector.

Yes, I've been using that method for the inspector. I'll see how I find it for the palettes.
